Yes, obviously there was enough to convict him.  The jury convicted him.  My point was that if she had had a better memory of the night - if she had been a better witness herself and provided more details about what happened - there may have been even more that they could have charged him with.  In case you think I'm implying that she is in any way responsible for this assault I am not.  But the reality is drinking to the point of blacking out has made her memory of the night very vague.  Thank goodness those Swedes came along when they did because without them I don't know that this ever would have been brought to justice which is scary.  She would have woken up behind that dumpster with her clothes a mess, abrasions on her body and no memory of what had happened to her.  Scary![/quote]

I didn't think you were implying anything about her. I just think part of the reason we kind of accept insane sentences like these is because we imagine there are some facts up in the air. He was charged and convicted of sex crimes that permit a 14 year sentence. The problem isn't that he wasn't charged with enough, its that the judge didn't punish him commensurate with the offense he was convicted of.

Also, a small irony of the Swedes coming along is that they're probably the reason the more serious initial charge wasn't sent to the jury; they interrupted him before he could earn himself more jail time.[/quote]

I still don't think that this guy was going to rape her.  If that had been his intention he would have just done it rather than spending all that time doing that other stuff to her.  This wasn't foreplay on his part and he knew that she was passed out cold.  He was doing what he wanted to do and making the deliberate decision to leave no evidence behind while maintaining the ability to get up and leave in a hurry if someone came along.  He did not anticipate the Swedes tackling the sh*t out of him however.  Good for those Swedes!!!!  And without those Swedes there would be no case.  That is a very sobering thought.  [/quote]
